What is political folk music anyway?

We use a broad definition of "political folk music"
at raykorona.com..
We view political songs as a vast area of music extending from song lyrics
which overtly address specific issues to songs that may seem to have no
political content whatsoever, but connect to how we perceive the world, our
relationships to others and our own internal sense of what feels right and
wrong. We see political lyrics as running the gamut from
those that are as direct as today's rally song to others that are purely
allegorical and poetic. Our definition of political music also includes
instrumental music and, to some degree, all songs
are political songs. For an in-depth
discussion of political folk music and other musical genres, check out the radio interviews of Ray Korona on
the Interviews page on this web site.
